Wasting Away in Margaritaville (actually, Loreto)
Finally, no 7 AM start. This has been one downside of traveling in a caravan. You have to go when they do. No deciding to walk the beach and get a later start, or to spend an extra day

Descending Devil’s Grade
It was dark and foggy as we lined up at 7 am to leave Guerrero Negro. These early starts don’t leave any time for our usual morning walks. Combine that with all the Mexican meals we are eating and

One last peek at the foliage, New York’s Adironacks

Autumn Leaves (and so do we)
As September fades into October, and as crisp, sunny, Autumn days turn into raw, harbinger’s of Winter, it is time for us to pack the RV and start to drift south. Our four months in New Hampshire and Maine have

Whale Watching in Guerrero Negro
Hubby prepared for today’s anticipated white-knuckle driving with half a Zanex. We left the boulders of Catavina, entered a small mountain pass and headed across a high mesa that is a remnant of a dry lakebed. The roads are 9.5

Caravaning to Catavina
Day two. At seven AM, wiping the sleep from our eyes and clutching our morning coffee, we were lined up with 20 other RVs ready to hit the road and leave Colonia Vincente Guerro behind us. We had been promised

Joining a Caravan in Chula Vista California
Today we finally reached our interim destination, Chula Vista, California. It’s right on the Mexican border and is the gathering point for our caravan south down the Mexican Baja to Cabo San Lucas. No more snow or ice, just warm

A Travel Day: Sand Dunes, Time Zones and Margaritas
Another travel day. Today we drove west towards Yuma through miles of Arizona desert filled with saguaro cacti. As we learned at Saguaro National Park this is the only place they grow. So all those cowboy movies I watched in

The Stately Saguaro Tucson, Arizona
The road from Las Cruces to Tucson put us in higher elevations and we saw the remnants of the snow that closed the road two days ago. We enjoyed the alternating desert and mountain scenery. Tucson is in a valley

The Ice Storm Cometh. Las Cruces, New Mexico
Leaving Ft. Stockton, Texas the weather deteriorated. We were beginning to second guess making a late January RV trip west. As we neared El Paso and the New Mexico border it became dark and overcast, the mountains shrouded in clouds

Following the Straight and Narrow (roads) of West Texas
I do not usually drive the RV. I would in a pinch, but I prefer navigating, or enjoying the scenery, to wrestling against the buffeting forces of semi’s passing you at top speed, or the stress of anticipating who is

Walking the River in San Antonio, Texas
We had hoped waiting a day might mean clearer weather for seeing the Alamo and the Riverwalk, but it was not to be. The wet, cold front that had been following us since New Orleans, and had put a damper

How to Visit NewYork City in an RV(Part 2)

Spelunking in Carlsbad Cavern, New Mexico
I tend to be slightly claustrophobic. I need to have a few feet of open space in front of my face, so small, tight spaces will usually produce minor panic attacks in me. I had no idea I was like

Sometimes traveling in the RV gives us the flexibility to pursue things other than just beautiful scenery. I had been spending a good deal of time online with Ancestry.com tracing my family history. My dad’s father always lived in Iowa,
